Country Villa under the Otago Sun

Southern

Renovation $500,000 - $1 Million

Tuscany meets Otago in this spacious beauty, which has been remodelled to enhance the living spaces so they flow through the house and out to the outdoors. The kitchen was also completely renovated and two upstairs bedrooms were combined to create a main suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

External walls were repositioned to allow the new indoor-outdoor living, including an alfresco dining and entertaining area. Earthworks helped create an outdoor area that allows diners to drink in the expansive views. A macrocarpa and brick pergola, complete with outdoor fire and pizza oven, was designed and constructed. These had to be built into existing features of the property, so they looked as if they were part of the original house.

The brief from the client included using the existing grapevines in this area so these were woven around large macrocarpa beams. As a result of the 160sqm renovation, there is now seamless indoor-outdoor flow and the owners can step straight out of the their house, enjoy the landscape and sip wine under the vines.

This also just won the bronze medal so that is all that it should show.
